Our server Crystal (sp?) was absolutely awesome! Crystal was congenial and very helpful when explaining the menu. I absolutely loved the aesthetics of this restaurant and their choice of music playing was great too. The food was hit and miss. The birria street tacos were the star out of all of the entrees that we ordered. I really enjoyed them. We also enjoyed the chips, salsa roja and the guacamole. The queso was decent but a little on the bland side. My husband and stepsons enjoyed the corn fritters and I thought that the shrimp Rangoon was interesting. I will say that when it comes to their food, I feel like they try to do too much with some of their menu items. For example, my husband got the following for his entree which I took directly from their menu online: The Big Thumper* Peppercorn Kangaroo, Mac N Cheese Beignets, Roasted Corn, Sweet & Spicy Bacon Crumble, Green Onion, Habanero Maple Syrup, Queso Love Cushion, Crispy Puffy Flour & Soft Flour Shells. As you can guess, there were just too many competing flavors and textures. However, he can now check kangaroo off of the list of meats he has tried. The same could be said for the Nashville hot chicken balls and the carne asada egg rolls that were on their appetizer list. Nashville Hott Chicken & Waffle Beignets Fried Chicken, Sweet & Spicy Bacon, and Mac N Cheese-Filled Beignets. Dipped in Nashville Sauce and Topped with Diced Pickle Relish and Spicy Crispy Carrots. Served with Ranch and Habanero Maple Syrup Carne Asada Egg Roll House Carne Asada, A&R Sesame+Ginger Sauce, A&R Spicy Chili & BBQ Jam, Baby Corn, Water Chestnuts, Cilantro, Green Onion, Carrots, Red Bell Peppers, Lo Mein Noodles We also did not care for the tres leches cake. I don’t know what was going on with it but I literally spit my bite out into my napkin. It just was a really strong flavor almost as though it was soaked in rum or bourbon. The menu just says it has the following: Tres Leches Cake Caramel, Strawberries I definitely want to give this place another try at some point and just be more mindful about the dishes we select. I also want to try some of their mixed drink. If this rating was solely based on atmosphere and service, it would definitely be a 5!

This new restaurant downtown Cleveland is a must go. They pride themselves on having great customer service and epic tacos. Well they did not disappoint. The decor of this place is so cute. There were so many cool painting and colors everywhere. Just so adorable. This business meeting was totally sidetracked when we started drinking our epic sized drinks. Bourbon peach punch and peach-tiny martini. Do you see the size of these things. So glad we could have to go cups. Appetizers- salsa, guacamole and egg roll. Now to be honest I have had better guacamole. Now the egg roll Miata could not stop talking about how good the egg roll was. I mean after we were finished with the meal she was thinking about ordering another. She didn’t but she wanted to. For the tacos. These tacos are not your average ordinary tacos. Go check out the menu. They had lobster tacos, hotdog tacos, macaroni and cheese taco, Pizza tacos… Crazy crazy. Miata had the fajita taco and I had a sugar daddy taco. One taco will do you. You do not need two - one will be plenty for you to be full. Side note. I did order fries and really really they were not good. So if you go do not bother with ordering fries. I didn’t need them.  But these epic tacos oh my good. Next time I will try the lobster taco. I just could not fathom Mac and cheese on a taco. 🤷🏽♀️ Overall rating was a 8.5 out of 10. The service was great. The food was really good. So go try it. Let us know what you think. Oh wait I almost forgot we got the carrot cake to go. It was not for us but for a friends father who loves carrot cake. Oh my oh my oh my. This carrot was the real deal. Carrot cake is one of my favorites. Just look at this cake. It was huge. Real carrots raisins nuts. Wow. Just delicious goodness. They also had a chocolate cake. So yes definitely will be back. #angelawynnett #clegrub

If you do not have food allergies/intolerance your experience here will likely be fine. I am gluten-free (AI but reactive like a celiac sometimes). A co-worker is celiac. We were here yesterday for lunch, and the waiter was great - took all orders correctly and also read them back. We 100% for a fact know we requested corn shells only. Our taco orders came out with flour soft shells. Waiter said they were corn the order was placed with corn. I took a bite, and it was in fact flour. Reading the room I could tell the kitchen was likely to just take the hard taco and place it into another shell if I asked to remake- I opted to just eat the hard shell portion (I had already been glutened at this point). My coworker asked to have hers remade and reiterated she was celiac... and it was brought out too fast to have been remade. We both have had symptoms since. If you are going to label and market for gluten-free, it 100% has to be executed correctly. Training has to be flawless, or it needs to be communicated that the accommodation isn't possible. Either one of us could have lost our afternoon and Saturday to throwing up for hours or for some celiacs this could have resulted in a hospital visit. I unfortunately have to place this restaurant on the no-go list. The lack of concern was flat out, not acceptable. I typically only review places I love but this is too dangerous to not leave a warning for others who cannot have gluten. Our dishes never should have made it out of the kitchen.

The atmosphere is so very chill, casual, and beautiful little spot to people watch & enjoy the down town bustle. I was beyond comfortable eating alone, while old fiends got reacquainted at another table, and Cleveland Browns Staff unwound at the outside bar. Outside bartender, Samantha, had such a positive, upbeat personality that I remember her name after hearing it only once. Francesca, my server made all the perfect recommendations. She was friendly and attentive, making me feel welcome and relaxed under my perfectly shaded umbrella. Her service was quick and thoughtful. Also zero judgment of my massive order for one person. I really wanted to taste everything on the menu, but did limit myself to dishes that really stood out to my liking. She was my favorite part of my visit, next to the food. Everything was beautifully presented hot and without much waiting. When I say I tried a little of all her suggestions I mean I did just that. Francesca knew exactly what she was recommending and was knowledgeable about the entire menu. The food was heaven. For the quantity and quality of food the prices are very reasonable. Especially for those on a budget.

First of all let me say, " Morgan the waitress/ slayer was absolutely, incredible. She was accommodating, friendly, and accepting I felt like she was family and even gave us her personal phone number to call her on our night out. She is the the most memorable beautiful, Norwegian queen with the most amazing play list. Her hair is long and luscious and she wore her Dad's work button up shirt and rocked it!! We loved her so much we want to take her home with us. Her fuzzy socks were green and incredibly fuzzy. I love her energy so much that we came back several times for tasty drinks and free skull mugs.(not really) I was disappointed however, that there was not any shirts to buy because they are so popular and sought after and they sell out inventory 15 minutes into a shift. Boo!!.We will definitely be back, maybe tonight, maybe tomorrow and will request the beautiful, blue eye Norwegian princess as our waitress. Hail Morgan you beautiful Libra soul. Request Morgan and give her good tips she really deserves them and will help her in her pursuit to buy a spider monkey. We love you Morgan- rock on!

I recently hosted an event at Agave & Rye, and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. This was my first visit, and I was immediately struck by the super cute vibe of the place. The ambiance perfectly blends a fun, vibrant atmosphere with a cozy, urban, welcoming feel. Our server, Alyshia, truly made the evening memorable. She was incredibly helpful and attentive, ensuring that everything ran smoothly. Her recommendations were spot on, and we ended up trying all of her favorite dishes. Each one was delicious, showcasing the unique flavors and creativity that Agave & Rye is known for. Also if you are planning an event I would recommend calling the restaurant first to see if they can accommodate. The event coordinator Amanda told me they did not take reservations so I thought I was forced to make an event reservation due to the size of my party which was not true. Overall, I recommend Agave & Rye for both casual dining and special events. I will definitely be returning soon!
